Berk Technology Cat-Back Coming Soon!

Yup, not uncivil at all.

When the FI thread really got going I was expecting a Berk rep to be in here reviving this one ASAP... but instead they are silent and look to be letting FI take away some market share!

Hi guys, just got back today from TX on business. We finished up another prototype exhaust and this one is 99% of what the production version will look like. The R&D process is something you NEVER want to rush just so you can be first to market. You must get it right the first time or else you guys will have fitment issues or durability issues down the road.

The level of engineering that goes into our systems is on a different level to what you see in the tuner market. We go through great lengths to ensure that you are getting a product that are designed better than the OEM components they are replacing. We've even had a Nissan engineer consult with us on the design process to make sure we have his stamp of approval. These are not your run of the mill "exhaust shop" pieces but highly engineered parts that will perform better and last longer than anything else out there. It is worth the wait!!

Cheers!

Looks clean man. I don't know what was with people doubting this, btw - developing a product thats worth a damn takes time lol.

I don't think there was doubt, just a lot of people that were expecting updates a week or 2 ago, so when FI hit the forum running with their exhaust that sounded great, it seemed like Berk wasn't responding (since it seems he was here in TX on business).

Anyways, lookin' good Berk! can't wait to see the gains and mounted pics

Yeah, I definitely wasn't doubting it. I was just very surprised at how quiet this thread got.

May thats so sexy looking. Can't wait to get it! Thanks for the update Berk!

LiquidZ · 07-07-2009, 11:29 PM

Thanks for the update! Please don't forget to weigh the exhaust!

genki370z · 07-08-2009, 12:12 AM

Some mounted pics for you guys! The Berk exhaust sounds deeper and slightly more aggressive than the existing Nismo exhaust.

Awesome sound quality, killer good looks, and Berk Technology's renowned build quality = one bad a$$ exhaust!

Berk Technology vs. Nismo

Some design notes:

-Dual 2.5" Piping
-Custom made oval tips to fit the OEM bumper cutout
-True X-pipe - tangentially siamesed
-Optimal X-pipe placement for the VQ motor
-Does not hit the OEM cross brace, no need to tweak or fiddle with anything
-Flex sections in OEM locations for longevity (You NEED flex sections to soak up engine movement & vibration. The flex sections are not there to correct angle deviations.)
-100% bolt on with simple hand tools
